The Fix
I fix the unclosable cabinet door
Kat, who talks to dead people,
messages Jennifer: in our world
Time is the limit of our lives
but space offers a freeing view
that we can go anywhere we want
with the disintegrating persistence
of Memory
Now, at the kitchen table,
I think that both tasks
require magnets strong enough
to pull one’s soul sideways

I am drawn to your fix. There are so many kinds of magnets. When one unclosable door closes another opens?
Wow! So real. So surreal. I like it!
or a sledgehammer…
break the hasp from the hatch.
i like that a household chore
is your hitching post to this
temporal ponderance.
That last stanza is gold. Thanks for sharing.
Adore the way you’ve tied these two seemingly unrelated pieces together, Jim!
And that last stanza!
I always enjoy your “sideways” eye of looking at the world!
